The Southern Agricultural Economics Association recently bestowed the Lifetime Achievement Award to Charles Moss. Charles is a professor in the University of Florida’s food and resource economics department and has more than 20 years of experience in researching and teaching agricultural finance.

“It is always somewhat humbling for people you admire to talk about your career and the contributions you have made,” said Moss, a member of UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. “It motivates me to continue asking interesting questions and to continue to challenge myself.”

He has supervised six doctoral students and two master’s students while at the University of Florida. He has written two textbooks related to agricultural economics, co-authored another, edited six volumes and written 24 chapters. And has been published in nearly 100 scientific journals.

This busy man has also served as co-editor of the Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics and was a member of the editorial board of that journal and the Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics.

Congratulations Charles for such a prestigious honor.
